Salazar-Mercado v. United States

This matter is before this court for review of the Order and Recommendation ("Recommendation") filed on December 30, 2013, by the Magistrate Judge in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). (Doc. 3.) In the Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge recommends that this action be dismissed without prejudice to Plaintiff pursuing his claims in case 1:13CV335.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge's Recommendation (Doc. 3) is ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice to Plaintiff pursuing his claims in case 1:13CV335. A Judgment dismissing ...
